The thesis considers the analysis of two-span Continuous RCC and Pre-stressed (pre-tensioned & post-tensioned) beam of 6.0m each having cross-section of 200x300mm with M-40 grade of concrete manually in Ms-Excel and in software i.e. in STAAD. Pro. RCC Continuous beam has been analysed based on IS 456:2000 and Pre-Stressed Concrete Beam has been analysed based on Three –Moment theorem and codal provisions of IS 1343:2012. Economics of both the types of beam have been studied and found that the conventional method i.e. RCC construction is cheaper than the newly evolved Pre-stressed Construction because the later requires great instruments like weights, pulley blocks, screw jacks, pressure gauges along with High tensile steel (alloy of carbon, manganese, sulphur, phosphorus & silicon) and skilled manpower to operate these to impart the prestressing force. |
